Can you send in for both the retail and hobby versions of a product? Or does that disqualify you from the NPN?


I collect the Green Bay Packers, Prince Fielder, and various esoterica of interest at any given moment.

You are referring to Topps? I have sent in on both and not been disqualified such as Turkey Red Football, but I only sent one on each. At some point though I guess they will start disqualifying entries like that. What I do not understand is why they use two seperate addresses/po boxes. If you are concerned they might disqualify your entries then just stick to doing one. Once they start going to the same address, or I stop getting on some products I will stop trying both.

Yeah, Topps. I always abide by the rules regarding number of entries per household. But I've been confused by the different P.O. boxes used for retail vs. hobby. It makes it seem as though they are treated as different products. Nowhere have I ever seen a clear indication of whether entrees to both versions is allowable or not.

I have not either, and I have been sending to both boxes, and receiving on some products like Bazooka and Turkey Red. For what I have been getting though on those products, it really has not been worth it. I think on Bazooka fb I received one of the comic strips and the black eye crud, and on Turkey red two white parallels of base players. So nothing great there.
